Now as far as the dune canon goes the manworm isn't entirely a dumb idea, it is a dumb idea overall but in universe it makes sense. The execution of the whole thing is dumb, if that guild guy I renamed to Gaider decided to turn himself into a man-sandworm hybrid it would make a lot more fucking sense. But as I said The Guild's plan is just one big derp pile. They had no way of knowing that the all knowing creature would not fuck them over which it could since it would know everything about the possible future, the past and the present. They had pretty much zero explanation as to why they want to do that other than "because we fucking can" or "hurr durr guild iz evulz".

Or it could be explained by the Navigators being prescient and knowing the Emperor Worm would not betray them. Too bad they merely predicted a future in which it was dead.

As mentioned before the Tleilaxu wanted to use this to either manipulate the guild or to just draw attention away from their plan. So that part while never explained in the game itself had some justification done by westwood. But the guild is just truly inane in its actions.

Didn't the later Herbert novels introduce a concept of an Imperium-spanning Tleilaxlu conspiracy, with face dancers everywhere, etc, etc?
